I successfully installed the version of wpasupplicant from testing, and rebooted the system. Unfortunately I see no difference in the linking problem -- it still hangs at the same point. In this attempt, you can see that it also found the neighbor's unencrypted router "Tnet":

Upon getting that, I pulled the Belkin device and then plugged it into a different USB connector, and it was promptly set up as wlan0, and worked as shown above. So I don't know what happened on the USB bus at the reboot.

One possibility is you might have a bad USB port or somehow the bus got into a rather rough state. If you are able to configure wlan0 and connect to your network with WPA/WPA2 consistently with a stable connection then you should be good to go
